（单词翻译）

[00:00.75]I said:"Is Mr Fred Lacey there?"
[00:03.58]"Who is calling, please?""Evans is the name."
[00:07.15]"Mr Lacey is not here right now,Mr Evans.
[00:09.81]Is he expecting you?"
[00:11.66]That gave her two questions to my one.
[00:14.09]I didn't like it.I said:"Are you Mrs Lacey?"
[00:18.01]"Yes.I am Mrs Lacey,"I thought her voice
[00:20.94]sounded taut¹ and over-strung,
[00:22.60]but some voices are like that all the time.
[00:25.20]"It's a business matter."I said.
[00:27.22]"When will he be back?"
[00:28.85]"I don't know exactly.Sometime this evening,
[00:31.21]I suppose.What did you...?"
[00:32.73]"Where is your cabin, Mrs Lacey?"
[00:35.31]"It's...it's on Ball Sage² Point,
[00:37.33]about two miles west of the village.
[00:38.87]Are you calling from the village?Did you...?"
[00:41.28]"I will call back in an hour,Mrs Lacey,"I said,
[00:43.76]and hung up.I stepped out of the booth.
[00:46.45]In the other corner of the room a dark girl
[00:49.08]in slacks was writing in some kind of account
[00:51.09]book at a little desk.
[00:52.92]She looked up and smiled and said:
[00:54.80]"How do you like the mountains?"
[00:56.54]I said:" Fine.""It's very quiet up here,"
[00:59.67]she said."Very restful."
[01:01.72]"Yeah.Do you know anybody named Fred Lacey?"
[01:04.09]
